The rain Saturday morning was
not ?s general as one might judge
from tiie way the clouds gather-
ed and the thunder roared. Some
places in the county were skip-
ped entirely, but such places re-
ceived rain first of the week, and
was not in need of rain.
Farmers say that the rain will
bring the oats to the front in a
hurry and all crops that have been
planted will get a start that will
carry them through a considerable
drouth.

port as compiled by the West Tex-

A report carried in the differ-
ent state papers to the effect that
K. M. Van Zandt and family were
in trouble in Mexico City, caused
Chas. S. Miller, of Ballinger to
write to Van Zandt’s father at Ft.
Worth, and offer to aid in rescu-
ing the younger Van Zandt, if
there was anything he could do.
Mr. Miller and Van Zandt Jr.,
were room mates while in college
and at the same time Postmaster
Burleson was in school and the
three were very intimate while in |
college.
Mr. Miller received a letter
from Fort Worth today, that ends
any uneasiness that might he felt
for the man Van Zandt that is in
Mexico City. Following is an ex-
tract from the letter:
